The Elderly In Varanasi Are Starving & Suffering, Help Chote Gurdar Look After Them

Feel free to ask Campaigner for a new update on this Fundraiser.

Project

The spiritual capital of India, Varanasi, is a place of devotion and worship for thousands around India. However, it is also home to countless elderlies who have been abandoned by their families and sadhus who make this divine city their home.

“Many elderlies come here once they’ve been abandoned by their families, and I think it’s our responsibility to take care of their every need. Especially because they’re old and need more support. The pandemic has been very difficult for them, and we want to do everything in our power to ensure they’re safe, healthy and protected.” - Vikas Dikshit, Chote Gurdar Ashram

Started over 60 years ago in the holy city of Varanasi, Chote Gurdar is more than a home. This ashram is a place where hundreds of aged people are looked after with respect and dignity.

Chote Gurdar Ashram Is Dedicated To This Noble Cause

Every elderly is welcome at Chote Gurdar, where their food, shelter and even medical needs are taken care of by the dedicated members of the ashram whose sole mission is to care for them in the best possible way.

“They’re given three fresh and warm meals every day, blankets, a roof over their heads, and medicines that they need. So many of them have been left to fend for themselves only because they stopped contributing financially to their families or are too old to help in any way. After taking care of their families all their lives, they’re left with nothing when it matters the most. They don’t deserve to live like this during their last years.”

Many of the senior citizens and sadhus that come to Chote Gurdar are in the last years of their lives, and at the ashram, they ensure that these last few years are filled with peace. All of them that come here find a permanent home at the ashram and remain until their death.

They’ve Faced Many Challenges Due To The Pandemic

The ashram saw hundreds of people coming to them for help during the pandemic. They had to struggle to find the means to feed and look after all of them. Now, as the crisis continues, Chote Gurdar needs your help to care for the elderly and sadhus at their ashram.

They need your help to get grocery kits that will keep these abandoned senior citizens in Varanasi healthy.

Your contributions will give them the support they need during these difficult times.
